Also, it showed me a "aaa.txt" file but failed to load it. Not sure what was supposed to happen - hide it, or import it somehow?
I don't know. '.txt' is definitely listed as one of the Extensions from Inkscape::Extension::DB, but I have no idea what it does. Its purpose might have been forgotten. :-)
If the extensions guys are around, I would suggest a simple text-to-svg conversion.
txt2svg should provide a basic text-to-svg conversion, and should be invoked when loading .txt files. This is an extremely simple minded converter script, mostly intended as a proof of concept. It probably doesn't support things like unicode. Patches to it are quite welcome.
I think that probably the reason that it isn't working is that you're missing a required Perl module. Unfortunately we don't have dependency checking to make sure you have all the required Perl modules.
